04 Jan 2006 06:04 pm Post subject: New Feature (Not really!) |
|
|
I finally got around to actually putting to good use our "Second Look" feature. And now that the first is up, it will be a good reminder for me to do a new one every week or whatever.
Anyways, it's basically a front page highlight of a random review. The critic will be random, and his review will be chosen by myself. I'll be keeping an eye out for reviews that do something special i.e. talk about a movie that was underreviewed by the staff, is particularly well written, or I dunno...just feels right.
Our first front page highlight is from Kernan's early submissions. It's his review of Four Brothers. Only 2 of our staff reviewed the film, and I think he hits the nail on the head with that one considering it was only his third or fourth review.
So Go Kernan or something!
As soon as I figure out how to change what the "second look" blurb says I'll spice that up each week. I'll ask Thom about that. |

How do you (or, how will you) go about choosing a random review? |

Just a random number generator. Although it can't be any old review. Like I said, it has to be something a little special. |

Why not set up a php script to do all the work for you? |

This week's second look feature is Mark Lanzana's review of Suzhou River.
Also, I found out how to customize the text for the front page with these. Yay. |

I'm pretty sure 90% of us loved The 40 Year old Virgin, and to promote this great comedy for rental, Al's well-rounded and pretty comprehensive review is now showcased on the front page. |
